Thank you all for unconditional support, love and solidarity: Rishi Kapoor on asset naming row

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor has thanked his supporters for their "unconditional love and solidarity", after his tweets targeting the Congress over the practice of naming all the major assets of the country after the Nehru-Gandhi family during its rule, triggered a controversy.

Congress workers had staged a protest outside Kapoor's house in suburban Bandra in Mumbai and also pelted stones and shouted slogans against the actor to protest his slew of tweets against the Nehru-Gandhi family.

"We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don't agree. Sochna log!" Kapoor had earlier tweeted.
